The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[Eckert]

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the greenhouse section of he queue. I remember it having a very big buildup to the main Harry Potter theme. My friends joked about it sounding like Jurassic Park music.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. It's called 'Leaving Hogwarts'. It's very pretty. In fact, it makes me sad because I have indeed left Hogwarts :'(

It's kind of ironic though because at that point you're actually entering Hogwarts...

How have the wait times been lately?

 

[Eckert]

Sunday and Monday had decent times. FJ would always be at a constant 60, and occasionally dipping to 30-45. The rest of the park had some insane times for some reason. Dudley was at 100+ the entire day, Spidey 60+, etc.

Dudley doesn't surprise me though. The heat's awful!

About $4.50 last week.

Thanks for the info. I hope if anything it goes down a little but for an exclusive drink I don't think that will happen.

This music plays around the WWoHP, and I really think it would be cool (but enough to make me cry seeing as Harry Potter has been such a big part of my life) if it was playing as I left the WWoHP...

I think the greenhouse song may be Harry's Wonderous World. It could be both but after 1:30 sounds exactly like the line.

I think they're both played around the parks, but I distinctly remember hearing Leaving Hogwarts in the greenhouse. When the song exploded at the end I had a big, dumb grin on my face. Probably my favorite part of the entire Wizarding World was realizing I was actually there, waiting in line for something I had been so patiently waiting for years.

Yeah, that was it.

It's actually gone up about 50 cents since the beginning.

Listening to that "Leaving Hogwarts" score made me cry and I cry thinking about it. That music brought me back to the greenhouse queue too and now I just reflected over my vacation there over a month ago. Those 3 days there just zoomed by.

And yeah, being there knowing you watched get built from the ground up to that moment was a great thing. Over three years of anticipation for a couple days...:'(. Hope I can get a job and come back down for more next summer.

Is that $4.50 for frozen with or without tax? I remember when I went a couple of weeks ago it ended up being around $4.25 with tax...

Yes... This and another feeling for me. I'm a theme park fan as much as you guys, and I always get excited to go to Orlando. But there is something else about the WWoHP, something truly magical that a fan of books or movies or even someone who has a remotely good idea about what Harry Potter is understands. When you've grown up with this series, to see it come alive is just... It's incredible.I can not wait to go here, I am sure I will cry when entering/leaving...

I estimated because it was $4.34 with tax with a preferred annual pass for me. So it was just an estimate.

They are still pretty bad from what I've seen but they are definitely getting better and I'm thinking they will continue to get better into the off season months...

Ahh...I see. Thank you.
